cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Then a Toshiba T1200 sleeper build, with the innards (hopefully non-functional at the time) replaced with a #RaspberryPi and a shiny new colour screen. Looks fantastic - and retains the original keyboard for thwocky typey goodness!
Raspberry Pi prices rise again, along with a new 3GB Raspberry Pi 4 announced https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/raspberry-pi-prices-rise-again-along-with-a-new-3gb-raspberry-pi-4-announced/
💡 Turn a Raspberry Pi into your own NAS with FreeBSD!
Building a simple NAS doesn’t require expensive hardware.
In our latest blog post, we walk through how to build a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system using FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi. With the latest FreeBSD release and tools like Samba, you can quickly set up reliable network file sharing on minimal hardware.

In our latest video, we walk through how to install and run FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi and turn it into a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system.
If you’ve been curious about running FreeBSD on single-board computers or building your own NAS, this is a great place to start.
Watch it on our YouTube channel and let us know what you’d build with it: https://youtu.be/xqFiTRYo1fk
"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

Not sure why I did this, but ejabberd works fine on my gen 1 raspberry pi (14 years old, 512mb RAM). Would probably enough to handle a small instance for friends and family.

Upgraded my Raspberry Pi 4B from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43 using the offline upgrade process. I documented what worked for me as a gist at https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer/gists/src/branch/main/2025/20251107UpgradeToFedora43Raspi4.md and couldn't have done it without the little tip from @krist — Thx, Krist!
I have a Raspberry Pi, a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable, and my laptop, running Linux.
If I connect the HDMI cable between the two devices, is there a way to configure my laptop to receive the signal from the Raspberry Pi, and display it in a floating window or something?
Finally got around to updating my #OpenBSD router (new hardware) pairing it together with an #OpenWRT AP, funnelling everything through a separate #raspberrypi zero running #pihole
Bonus: my Raspberry Pi 400 is now setup with OpenBSD's httpd / relayd - ready to host all of my web projects locally!
That was sure a lot of buzz words...I'll gather my detailed thoughts and breakdown everything into a blog post soon 😄
Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badger 2350, powered by the #raspberrypi #RP2350 I've written an app to get the names of the astronauts on the International Space Station using the built in Wi-Fi and a little JSON magic.
Wasn't 100% happy with the enclosure I printed for my #RaspberryPi 4 with the VGA666 board, so I made a quick remix fixing the tiny details I wasn't 100% satisfied with: https://www.printables.com/model/1603648-raspberry-pi-4-gert-vga-666-case-with-screws-holes
As usual, #FreeCAD files are included to ease remixing.

Why do I find #SSH authentication keys so difficult to implement?
The closest I have found to an idiot's guide didn't work and now I have messed with so many config files I will probably have to do a fresh install to have a chance.
Does anyone know of a really simple walk-through *which is not a YouTube video* and not about GitHub? Ideally for a #RaspberryPi 5 but Debian will do.
Please RT
I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
